SC- Proponents

by gmat009 » Mon Sep 22, 2008 5:00 pm
The 19th-century proponents of the school of thought known as mechanism held that life process are not the products of some mysterious life force, but are the same chemical and physical processes that operate in inorganic systems, which is still a subject of debate between biologists today.
(A) systems, which is still a subject of debate between
(B) systems, which are still debated between
(C) systems still debated among
(D) systems, a theory still debated by
(E) systems, a theory still debated between

Can someone explain which one is more accurate D or E and why

IMO D.
I think between in statement E causes a error.

between is wrong so ABE are out. [biologists would be much more than 2]

C is incorrect as it does not mention about theory.
"inorganic sytems still debated among" makes it incorrect.

IMO Ans is D
